Hi, You can try Power Automate, Microsoft recently released some new templates.

Thanks.

you could set up the workflow approval using Workflow user group and create 2 groups. After group 1 approves, it goes to group 2

Hello Josh,

on this learning path, you can find related information on how to set up a workflow for more than one user.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/create-workflows/4-user-setup

By assigning incremental numbers to each approver in the Sequence No. field, you can define the hierarchy of users in the group. By assigning the same number in the Sequence No. field, you can define that an approval request can't be approved until multiple, equal approvers have approved it, regardless of the hierarchy.

I hope this can help. If you have additional questions feel free to ask.

Greetings
